Modern Techniques in Eiffel tower & Height of Eiffel tower
The Eiffel Tower (French: La Tour Eiffel, [tuʁ ɛfɛl]) is an
iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris. It was named after
the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower.
Erected in 1889 as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair, it has become
both a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognizable
structures in the world.[1] The tower is the tallest structure in Paris and the
most-visited paid monument in the world; 6.98 million people ascended it in
2011.[2] The tower received its 250 millionth visitor in 2010.[2]
The tower is 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall,[2] about the same
height as an 81-storey building. During its construction, the Eiffel Tower
surpassed the Washington Monument to assume the title of the tallest human-made
structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years, until the Chrysler
Building in New York City was built in 1930. Because of the addition of the
antenna atop the Eiffel Tower in 1957, it is now taller than the Chrysler
Building by 5.2 metres (17 ft). Not including broadcast antennae, it is the
second-tallest structure in France, after the Millau Viaduct.
The tower has three levels for visitors, with restaurants on the first and second. The third level observatory's upper platform is 276 m (906 ft) above the ground,[2] the highest accessible to the public in the European Union. Tickets can be purchased to ascend by stairs or lift (elevator) to the first and second levels. The climb from ground level to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the walk from the first to the second level. Although there are stairs to the third and highest level, these are usually closed to the public and it is generally only accessible by lift.
